Answer:

b. flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies

Explanation:

Dark matter accounts for majority of the matter in the universe (about 85%). It is considered to be composed of subatomic particles which are yet to be discovered. Dark matter cannot be observed because it does not emit light that can be detected. Only its gravitational effect is visible.

Astronomers when calculated the mass of the visible matter and tried to account for the observed speed of stars in the galaxy, there was a mismatch. To understand what caused this mismatch, astronomers gave name to the invisible matter as the Dark Matter.  

The expected velocity of stars should decrease away from the near the center of the galaxy but a constant velocity of stars was observed that is a relatively flat rotation curve was obtained.  

Thus, flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies in an evidence of Dark Matter.

EASY!!! Having a higher education is the literal key to success. Higher education would benefit you raising a family because a better education=better reputation in the scholar and job community=recognition by big companies and/or high authorities=a very possible job opportunity=a good job=receiving money from that job=being able to provide for a family. Higher the education means higher the chances of being a successful person. I want to be a ball player or a music producer and good education can help me accomplish that. You see in basketball you don't only need good skills to play you need good grades to even get on a team in every level from middle school to college.
